Which prefabricated house suits which budget?
In brief: In 2026, the prefabricated-house market covers budgets from under €50,000 to over €400,000. Three factors are decisive: living space, finish level and manufacturer. Rule of thumb: every square metre costs around €2,200 to €3,000 turnkey.
Building a house ready for interior finishing and doing some work yourself saves 30 to 40 percent. The least expensive prefabricated houses are mini and modular homes starting at around €30,000, while spacious urban villas and architect-designed houses cost more than €350,000. The following five budget bands show what is realistic in each category.
Prefabricated houses up to €50,000
Below €50,000, the only available options are modular homes, tiny houses and very compact houses ready for interior finishing. Living space is typically 20 to 40 square metres. These houses are suitable as garden rooms, home-office extensions or homes for one person.

With a budget of up to €100,000, compact bungalows and small townhouses become possible — with 80 to 100 square metres when supplied ready for interior finishing. For turnkey homes, the realistic upper limit is 60 to 70 square metres. This price category is particularly popular with couples, singles and budget-conscious builders in Austria.
